Schools: New Curator for the Fellows

Since 1938, some 300 selected newsmen have
left their beats to spend a thoughtful academic year at Harvard, taking
whatever courses appealed to them. These permissive annual fellowships
were made possible by a gift from Mrs. Lucius W. Nieman in memory of
her husband, founder of the Milwaukee Journal. Except for the first
year's class when Poet Archibald MacLeish was curator, every Nieman
fellow has shared the same counselor during his days at Harvard. But
last week Nieman Curator Louis M. Lyons, 66, was preparing to retire.
